Prospective Litigation Over the Let ting of a Contract. City councils had a hot time Satur day night. They met in Joint session and let two Important contracts in a very unusual manner. That for pav ing niver street. Park 'Place, Sixth avenue and South Main stteet went to Blair & Kennedy for $1.97 a squaic vard for paving, 48 cents a foot for :urblng and 14 cents a foot for re setting curb stones. They were $GS. higher than Coon & Lindsay, but were given the contract because they are local bidders. The lafct named bay they will cairy the matter to court, notwithstanding the fact that the city's advertisement reserves the right to t eject any or all bids. They are thoroughly In earnest and the city will evidently have to de fend a suit. The contract for eight fire hydrants was let, but not according to specifi cations winch call for frost cases. The bids were: John E. O'Hnra, $21. 60; J. O. Frost & Son, $20 03; F. V. Dilts & Co.. $26.75: Eddy Valve Co., $25. These included frost eases. These without were: F. W. Dllts & Co., $24. Eddy Valve Co., $22.50. The latt named company was aw aided the con tract because It contended the frost cases are unnecessary and gave a bond guaranteeing their hi drams for left years. There is a possibility of litigation over this contract. OBSEQUIES. The funeral of Mrs. James Burke was held Saturday morning from her late home on Brook street.

At the last regular meeting of the borough council It was agieed that on Friday evening, July 22, all members should meet and go around the town and see whether or not some of tho arcs lights and some of the fire hy drants can be dispensed with, and still have tho borough well lighted und well protected In ease of fire. When the appointed time came, membera came straggling In very slow ly, but some of them appeared to be In humor for almost anything except the business for which they were to had met. They repaired to the base ment where repairs are being made on the lookup, and began "kicking" the building committee for having Gail Borden rf?iUkP5i "irn!!S2v Condensed Milk HAS NO EQUALVAS AN INFANT FOOD. . "INFANT HEALTH"sent FREEjl on Application. NtWftRK CCKOtHJtO MiLK CO.N y stopped the contractor from using In ferior material In the work. Then they went upstairs and found the council room door locked, nnd they "kicked" again because former mem bers of the council did not turn over their ke at the expiration of their term of oillce, nnd It was even proposed to "kick" tho door In. Then they "kicked" nbout the secretary because ho was not present with the keys nnd books, and one of the members was sent after tho t-ccretaiy and keys. He was gone longer than some thought necessary and they "kicked" about that. He, however, finally returned with the keys and tho door was opened. Whether or not they expected to ilnd the lights and hydrants, together with a map of the borough in tho council room Is an open question, but they did not find them. Then s,omo of tho mem bers "kicked" and claimed that no special meeting of tho council had been tailed. That they were simply to meet and go mound town together. The minutes of the lost meeting were read, and It was found to be as claimed by some of the "kickers." The chair man, however, called the meeting to order nnd stated that the object of the meeting was to decide whether or not some of tho lights and some of the hy drants hhould be cut off in order to curtail the expenses of the borough. Mr. Stanton quickly icsponded by making a motion that all lights should be cut off This did not appear to meet the approal of anybody else, and was not beconded. Mr. Swlck suggested that the lights on Main street, in tho middle of the blocks, between Itush biook nnd Bacon streets, be removed, alto that the light at the extreme lower end of Main street and the light at the extieme easterly end of "It" street on the East Side and four hy drants, to be located later, be cut off, thereby saving the borough about four hundred dollars annually, and this did not appear to meet tho approval of the membeis. Mr. Moon thought It would bo a good plan for the borough to own their own light plant. Mr. Walters thought that if a committee were to be appointed and wait on the water company, that they would make a re duction In the present price of hy drants, but the majority thought that If the water company wanted to treat the people right they should communi cate with tho council. After n long line of talk, the matter was laid over until the next tegular meeting and all went home probably feeling better for having had an opportunity to air their opinions.

How the Custom Originated of Giv ing Thirteen for Twelve. From the Philadelphia Times. Away bark In the first half of the seventeenth century, when Albany, N. Y was merely a Dutch settlement, there lived In that town a man with the modest little name of Raas Volck ert Jan Pletersen Van Amsterdam. D. V. J. P. Van Amsterdam was a baker and famous. He was the Inven tor of oui gingerbread boys nnd of special Now dear's cakes filled with caraway seds. Van Amsterdam was the mobt popular baker In Albany, be cause his iMklnss were good. He Is reported as having been good himself a great churchman, nnd If a little stingy, no one dared say so. Now, on New Year's night in lb5l IWr Van A. was watching the old year out. and thinking of tho good cales he had made, when there was a sharp lit tle tattoo at the door. The lat-h was raise i, and in from the cold stormy winds of the Hudson blew a little old woman, very old Indeed. She came light up to Cans, and said in a high, ciacked voice: "Give mo n dozen New Year's cook ies!" Hut when Baas had counted them out frr her she Fet up a perfert howl, so that the people Mid next day that tho wind had been very shiill that nlcht. "A dozen! a dozen!" she cried. "You have given me only twelve." Then the fiugal Dutchman lost his temper and asked her out, and away she went, grumbling, and with her went all of Gaas Volckert Jan Pleter sen Van Ainstei dam's good luck. The very next day his bread fell, the yeast soured, his cakes burned. Then things grew even worse. Whole hak lngs would suddenly be drawn up the chimney, or fall through the oven to tho cellar. Bricks were .torn from tho fire place and thrown ot the poor Dutch man Then the (ld woman came again, but Baas was not to be moved he would not give thirteen for twelve and away lle.v tho witch. After this his wife be came deaf, his chlldien fell III, nnd at lost, broken In spirit, on the thhd and last visit of the old woman, he gave her what she asked, and prosperity came back so fast that every one mar veled. All the custom of Albany flowd Into B. V. J. r. V. A.'a; every ono wanted the extra cake, nnd the other bakers had to adopt the custom established by their leader.

Takes the Place of Foot Ball, Bowing and Other Sports. From the Chautauquan. One of the most prominent features of the picturesque side of German stu dent life Is dueling. It Is to the Ger man youth what sport Is to the AmPii can colleee hoy. Ther are, however, two distinct kinds of dueli. A real duel, pioperly so called, In which dangerous weapons, like sabers or plsUH, tre used occuis veiy rarely among the students. The students' duel is chletly a test of skill and prowess, and vry seldom has a directly fatal result. Ths duels ato fought for various reasons, sometimes, too, for no reason whutivfr. Any Might Insult or offense -and a German student is lery "touchy" and fiequent- ly most willingly offended may be made the occasion for a challense. The make-up of a duelist Is remark able. As to grotesque appearance the foot ball player cannot compare with the German student. The right leg nnd the chest g?e amply protected by cushion-like gurments; the rlsht arm Is guarded hy a padded glove reaching to the shoulder, the neck Is safely cov ered with heavy wrappings, and the eyes are shielded with tin goggles. The rules and legulatlons regarding the combat ate intricate and are utiictly enforced The duel Is over when the allotted time, fifteen minutes' actual fencing, ha-s passed, or when one of the combatants has received a wound which the attending surgeon considers somewhat serious (ahfuhr). To receive an ahfuhr is no dishonor, while any show of fear is considered disgraceful Dueling Is, of coutse, forbidden by the law. The authorities, however, con nive at Its breach, and interfere only when fighting Is done to excess or threatens to degenerate into mere slashing. The offenders when caught In the act are committed to tho Car eer, the students' special prison. - Our Trade with Europe. Trom the Scientific American. A study of the etatlstJi's of our for eign trude for the past year shows that whllo tho United Kingdom Is our largest customer It does not take so large a proportion of our exports as foimcrly. Tin years ago the total value of pur exports to the United Kingdom was $359,731,531, or over 50 per cent, of our total exports; whereas In 1597 the proportion had fallen to about 44 ptr cent. Though it haa de ceased tclntlvely. It still reaches the great value of $452,694,024, an increase of over $120,000,000 in the nine years under consideration. Tho total In crease In our exports to all countries during tho ramo period has been 55 per cent. Our exports to Germany have rlnen from nbout 8 per cent, or the total to about 12 per cent ; our cxpoits to Franco have remained stationary at about 6 per cent, while those of the Netherlands have risen from 2 to 5.3 per cent.
